Employment Blackspots Update

We have been reporting on employment black spots in Britain over the last few months, where we have found strong evidence of persistent poor local job prospects. The unemployment data released today shows that Inverclyde is now the hardest place in Britain to find a job, where there are over thirty five dole claimants chasing every vacancy. Inverclyde has appeared frequently in the top 10 blackspots, and back in May 2011 Invercylde had been the hardest place to find a job when almost thirty two dole claimants were chasing every vacancy.
